Chapter 277: Are they even skilled? (1/2)
Jhonny was snoring peacefully at his table , whenever the camera would cut to him , a slight snoring sound would be audible. While although Fatty Kalash did not speak like a pirate anymore , he was still half naked with a eye patch now over his head instead of his eye , his image as a jester had been pretty much set in stone.
These were the representatives of Japan , currently the number one leader of the medal tally. The Japanese felt like hiding their faces in shame when the commentators linked them with their cultured and well disciplined country.
However the attention was significantly shifted from Jhonny and Fatty Kalash to the rest of the participants. Sometimes during the forging process the metal would crack , sometimes the alloy made would be impure and brittle , moreover the creations kept getting misaligned or broken .
This was not the case for one person or two , periodically every five minutes or so , someone would make a blunder.
At first those who made a mistake were being sneered upon by the other participants , however only a few seconds later they made the same mistakes. It was very abnormal that everyone started to make mistakes in the arena.
One after another , the parts made would not fit properly , or even the simplest designs like a short knife , or a kunai would turn to have the edges having bend marks or the alloy being overall of poor quality.
Shockingly bronze and silver products became the standard , some produced damaged light gold items , however overall the quality was pitiful.
Naturally the crowd went from being excited about the competition to just stupefied , however when more and more of them made mistakes the crowd started to become agitated and angry , they were now starting to slur insults at their countrymen.
” Who let these idiots represent Hungary , even I can atleast forge a light gold chainmail , who is this unskilled brat , bronze item? Seriously? Might as well quit now and save us the same ! ”.
” What is that thing u made , it doesn't look like a axe at all , the handle and the body don't fit , the body is actually curved , what joke is this , talking soo big on the forums , calling out every other master forger , when my newbie son in his first month in the game makes better axes than you , I spit on you , you are a disgrace ”.
” BOOOOOOOO! ”.
” BOOOOOOOO!”.
” FAKE BLACKSMITHS ”.
” ALL OF YOU ARE A DISGRACE ”.
” SHAME OF THE COUNTRY ”.
” An amateur in my village will do better than you lot ”.
” If I ever see them calling themselves master blacksmiths again , I'd spit on their faces ”.
” BOOOOOOO”.
”BOOOOOO”
The crowd were extremely dissapointed and hurled insults after insults on the forgers , under the increased pressure , even those who were doing relatively well made mistakes ruining their creations. Then even their countrymen began to boo , giving more pressure than already was.
The Blacksmithing event If to be summarised in a few words , could be said to be ' Dissapointing to watch'.
There was no splendid display of skill , no breathtaking creations , no legendary items , it was truly very dissapointing.
